q3vm VS Wren

I am a big fan of Q3VM and have even used it in a couple of projects.

But it returned in Quake 3 the n?

You might want to check out Q3VM (A stripped down virtual machine from Quake III).

Finally, the compiler itself is the easy part, emitting x86/x86_64 instructions is where it starts to get very complex. For this reason, I really recommend Q3VM (https://github.com/jnz/q3vm). It is a single file VM (originally written for Quake III) which interprets fantasy but greatly simplified instructions from a slightly modified LCC compiler (also part of the project). This might be very useful to learn from.

For a moment I thought it was about wren programming language... [1]

For "W" you could use Wren.

Bob Nystrom also has a blog, and his articles are really well written (see his post on Pratt parsers / garbage collectors). I'd also recommend going through the source code for Wren, it shares a lot of code with Lox. Despite the deceptive simplicity of the implementation, it (like Lox) is incredibly fast - it's a great way to learn how to build production grade compilers in general.

Only kind of unrelated ... Every time I see the Bevy logo I'm reminded of Wren language https://wren.io/

If you want a pure C99 (sadly not C89 like Lua) immensely fast embeddable language pure interpreter, wren is a great language with excellent features like overload by arity. There is a huge maturity gap between the languages tho.

Check out the source to Wren: https://wren.io. It’s from the author of Crafting Interpreters and builds directly on what’s discussed in the book (essentially a more complete Lox) and adds several additional types, including an array.

The best C code I have ever read is that of wren.
